Trouble Shooting

[MJTT12]

My dads laptop has been going so inspired by the WAN show of Linus and Luke mentioning that their significant others are still using a i7 2600k and a i7 3770, I decided to build my Dad a computer with my old i7 2600. I am using my old gateway dx4860 motherboard, i7 2600, 8gb of ram, power supply. I bought a 570 but am just using a old gt card

 

I fully assembled it and when I turned push the power button for the first time, the case fans and power supply fan turned on for 1.5 seconds then shut off without posting anything. The power supply I was originally using was a thermaltake tr2 430w from another computer so I unplugged 3/5 fans and extra hard drives thinking that it may have overloaded it but that did not change anything. I grabbed the oem power supply that originally powered the computer that the i7 came out of and it didn't change anything. I've changed the power cord and outlet.

 

I'm stuck on where to go next what to do next, everything was 100% operational before I upgraded to my new computer. If anyone has any advice it would be gratefully appreciated.

 

Thank you.

Try pulling the GPU and using the iGPU instead. Disconnect everything from the PSU but the 4-pin, 24-pin, leave the CPU fan connected and only insert 1 stick of RAM. See if it POST's.

 

Do you get any beep codes?

I pulled the gpu, disconnected everything except for the 4, 24 pin a cpu fan. I tried each stick and same thing. CPU fan would spin for 1.5 seconds without any deeps or codes.

What happens if you pull the CPU? Same behavior or does it turn on and stay on?

I pulled it and it does the same thing... So I would probably say it is the motherboard, what do you think?

Assuming you don't have a standoff installed under the motherboard where it doesn't belong I don't see anything else to blame unfortunately.

I have the same exact power supply. Try powering it up then pressing the reset switch. repeat until motherboard posts. Don't know how well it works on yours but it worked with my system.

 

Just clarifying I have the tr2-430 and it always gives me trouble on startup
